NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. 



In the year 1846 the Avritev of this 
article embaikcd in the Drug business 
in the City of Fhihidelphia, and while 
thus engaged matle several exj)eriraent3 
in regard to ^le nio«t desirable mode of 
preparing Fluiil Exti-nct.s. His eiTorts 
being successful — the articles being ap- 
proved and u.scfl by the medical faculty — 
he was desirous of placing theiu before 
the public ; but hesitated for some timel 
before concluding to resort to news- 
paper advertising, knowing of the pre- 
judices existing a^jiiust using advertised 
Medicmen. But, through tlio advice of 
friends and those who had used the pre- 



parations, this objection was overcome. 
C Commencing in a small way, after 18 
years' exertions, the popularit}^ of my 
articles has extended to all ])arts of the 
IJnitecl KStatcs, and Avidely through 
foreign countries- -and this in the face 
of much opposition. Since their merit 
and snooesa have been known, every 
means has been resorted to by unprinci- 
pled dealers — such as advertising larger 
bottles at less pi-ice, censuring all other 
preparations, and even copying my ad- 
vertisements ; but I am lH*ppy to state 
that, out of the many who have resorted 
to this, none have been successful. 



Kno-wing that many will read this article who are unacquainted with nie, I append 
remarks from those of my native city whose names are kno\\Ti in all parts of the 
world. 

I am acquainted with Mr. H. T. Helmbold. He occupied the Drug Store opposite 
my residence, and was successful iu conducting the business where others had not 
been equally so before Mm. I have been favorably impressed with his character and 
enterprise. ^VTLLIAJM WEIGHTMAN,

world, JouKNAL Pharmacy, Dr. Keyser's Letter, Dispensatory, United States, &c.> 
Prof. Dewees' valuable works on the Practice «f Physic, reiparks made by the 
late celebrated Dr. Physick, Philadelp'hia ; remarks made by Er. Ephraim McDowell, a 
celebrated Physician, and member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland, and pub- 
lished in the transactions of the King's and Queen's Journal Medico-Chirurgical 
liEViEW, published by Benjamin Travers, Fellow &i Koyal College of Surgeons, and 
most of the late Standard Works on Medicine. 



A QUESTION TO THE READER. 

If you were about to embark in the Medicine Business, would the merit of an article, 
or your confidence in advertising, inspire you so to d© ? and would you devote years of 
application without a thorough investigation ? I will take upon myself the responsi- 
bility of answering this question, although I have heard thousands remark that 

" All that is necessary, IS TO ADVERTISE." 

I have never yet seen any but would hesitate. Many intelligent and persevering men 
hsive been induced to embark in the business, believing they had this essential element, 
and after having expended thousands op dollars in bringing it before the community, 
Ihey find, in a short time, that their article was not successful in curing in a majority of 
cases, and failure was the inevitable consequence. Advertising does not make merit ; 
but it makes merit kno^^^l, and that makes both reputation and mone} . I full well know 
that there are thousands who are envious of the success of others, and who seldom speak 
in a complimentary manner of the merits of an article, or of the enterprise of any, but 
I»Avill remark, that I do not believe there is a " DRiiGGLsr " or a "• ]*hysician " in the 
United States, or the world, who, if he had as good a remedy as mine, would hesitate to 
pursue the same course adopted by me. My

not a patent medicine, and I withhold no knowledge of its ingredients. I'he remedy 
is perfectly safe. My ^Laboratory, and the mode of preparation, has been inspected 
by thousands of Physicians and Druggists, who ex5)ressed themselves gratified.

FEMALE IRREGULARITIES. 

Females, owing to the peculiar and important relations which they 
sustain, their peculiar organi^zation, and the offices they perform, are sub- 
ject to many sufierings and ailments peculiar to the sex. Freedom from 
these contributes in no small degree to their happiness and welfare, for 
none can be happy who are ill. Not only so, but no one of these various 
female complaints can long be suffered to run on without involving the 
general health of the individual, and ere long producing permanent sick- 
ness and premature decline. Nor is it phiasant to consult a physician, 
fur the relief of these various delicate affections, and only upon the most 
urgent necessity will a true woman so fur sacrifice her greatest charm 
as to do this. The sex will then thank us for placing in their hands 
simple specifics which will be found efficacious in relieving and curing 
almost every one of those troublesome complaints peculiar to the sex. 



LEUCORRH(EA OR WHITES 

Is one of the most common and annoying diseases of females. Hun- 
dreds suffer on in silence, and hundreds of others apply vainl}^ to drug- 
gists and doctors, who either merely tantalize them with the hope of a 
cure or apply remedies which make them worse. It is analogous to 
Spermatorrhoea of the male. It is a white discharge, proceeding from 
the vagina and sometimes from the womb itself. 1 would not wish to 
assert in this book anything that would do injustice to the afflicted, but 
I am obliged to say, that though it may be produced from excessive 
exhaustion of tiie powers of life, by laborious employment, unwholesoihe 
air and food, profuse menstruation, the use of tea and coU'ee, and fre- 
quent chiklbirth; it is far oftener caused by direct irritation, applied 
to the mucous membrane of the va4^ina itself. Many of the symptoms 
of leucorrhoea are occasionally identical with gonorrhoea. The reader 
will remember that we advance the opinion that gonorrhoea in the male 
occasionally originated in this disease, even in virtuous and married 
life. From its causes it is peculiar to adult life, although children are 
often affected with transient inflammation of the vagina, from atmos- 
pheric and other causes, vicious practices and examples of servants 
and schoolmates; and unless decisive measures are instituted, aflections 
of the womb and dropsy supervene. 

For Female Weakness and Debility, Whites or Leucorrh«a, Too Pro- 
fuse, Exhausting, Too Long Continued Periods, for Prolapsus and 
Bearing Down, or Prolapsus Uteri, we ofil'r the most perfect specific 
known; Helmbold's Compound Extract of Buchu. 

Direictions for use, diet, and advice aiccompany. 



From the 

*'3^merican ^mxml of ^^amacj/* 

May, 1865, edited by 

WM. PROCTOR, JR., 

Professor of Pharmacy, m llie Pliiladelpliia College of Pliarmacy. 



" Will the Fluid Extract go out of use owing to the high price, 
or can we have some authoritative modification of the formulas by 
which w^e can make them at a more reasonable cost?" 

" If the latter, shall the change be in the quality of the men- 
struum, or in the manner of applying it, so as to reduce the quantity 
requisite ? Can there be a convocation of the Committee of Revision 
to authorize some new method or modification of the present recipes ?" 

AVith regard to the contemplated change in the quantity, or in the 
menstruum itself, in the preparation of fluid extracts, I would take 
occasion (bo say that in medicine the health of the patient is the 
great object to be gained. 

The cost df the material is something, but when put into the scale 
with human health, and often human life, it is hardly worthy of con- 
sideration at all. My Buchu (Helmbold's) will continue to be made as 
formcrl}^, and if it cannot be maintained at present prices, they will 
have to be advanced to meet the advance in the price of material. To 
such as desire quantity insteaxl of quality w^e would say that w^ater is 
a cheap commodity, and may be readily added by the person using the 
medicine if he desires to do so.

A Case of Twenty Years' Standing. 



*' PiiTLADELPHiA, Penn., June 25, 1857. 

H. T. Hklmbold, Druggist : 

Dear Sir: I have been a sufferer for upward of 
■fewenly years with fravel, bladder aud kidney affections, 
during which time I Imve used various uiediciual piepa- 
T.itions, aud been under the treatiueul of the most 
eminent pbysiciaus, exjjerieucing but little relief. 

Having seeu your prcnnnitions extensively advertised 
I cousulted uiy family pliysiciau in regard to using your 
Extract Uuchu. 

I did this because T had used all kinds of advertised 
remedies, and had found them worthless, and souio quite 
injurious; in fact, I diapaired of ever t;elting well, aud 
determined to use no remedroa hereafter uulesa I knew of 
the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use 
■your remedy. As you adverliaed that it was composed of 
buchujcubebs and Juniper berries, it occurred to me and 
niv physician as an excellent combination ; aud, with his 
adv^e, after an examination of the article, and consult- 
ing again with tbe Druggist, I concluded to try it. I 
commenced to use it about eight mouths ago, at which 
time I was confiued to my room. 

From the first bottle I was astonished and gratified nt 
the beneficial e.Tect, and after usiun it tliree weeks whs 
•able to walk out. 1 felt much like writing to you a full 
statement of my case at the time, but thouxht my im- 
j>rov«taeut miiclit <miy btt temporary; t»i ther«lor« 



concluded to defer, and see if it would effect a perfect 
cure, knowing that it would be of greater value to you 
aud more satisfactory to me. 

f am. 1)010 ahh to report that a cure is effected after 
■using tke reviedyfuifivi: m(jnths. 

I have not vsed any now firr three montJia, and feel as 
Will ill all respects as / eoer did. 

Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and 
odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of the systeih, I do not 
mean to be without it wheuover occasion luay require its 
use in such attectiODs.

Mr. H. T. IIelmbold : 
Dear Sir : 

Your communication request- 
ing- our terms for advertising 
was duly received, but from a 
prejudice I had formed against 
advertising " cures for secret 
diseases," it was left unanswered 
Puring au accidental conversa- 



tion in a Drug Store the other 
evening my mind was changed 
on the character of your Buchu. 
It was then highly commended 
for other diseases by two physi- 
cians present. Inclosed please 
liud our rates of advertising. 

Yours, &c.,

DR. KEYSER 

Is a physician of over thirty years' experi- 
ence,and a graduate of the Jefferson 3^<Ucal 
College, and of the University of Medicine 
and Surgery of Philadelphia. 

jIb. H. T. Helmbold : 

Dear Sir: In regard to the quostion 
asked me as to my opinion about Buohu, I 
would say that I have used and sold the 
article in various forms for the past thirty 
years. I do not think there is any furm or 
preparation of it I have not used, or known 
to be used, in the various diseases where 
such medicate agent would be ii^dicated. 
You are aware, as well as myself, that it has 
been extensively employed in the varioua 
diseases of the bladder and kidneys, and the 
repntatipt\ it haa acqmired, in my judgXQiSBt, 



I have seen and used, as before stated, even' 
form of Buchu — the powdered leaves, the 
simple decoction, tincture, fluid e.xtr.acts; 
and I am not cognizant of any preparation 
of tjliat plant at all equal to yours. 

Experience ought, I think, to giv<i 
me the right to judge of its merits; and, 
without prejudice or partialityTI give yoi^rs 
precedence over all others. 

I vahie yonr Buchu for its effect on 
patients. I have cured with it, and seen 
cured with it, more diseases of the bladder 
and kidneys than I have ever seen cured 
with any other Buchu or any other proprie- 
tary compound of whatever name. 

Respectfully, yours, &c. 

GEO. H, KEYSER, M. D,

A CASE OF INFLAMMATION OF KIDNEYS AND GRAVEL. 



FROM 

MORGAN, FEAZEL & CO. 

Glasgow, Missouri, 

Feb. 5, 1858. 
Mr. H. T. Hklmbold : 
Dear Sir : 

About two years ago I was 
troubled with both inflammation 
of the kidneys and gravel, when 
I resorted to several remedies 
without deriving; any benefit 
whatever : and, seeing your 



Extract Buchu advertised, I pro- 
cured a few bottles and used 
them. The result was a complete 
cure in a short time. I regard 
your Extract Buchu decidedly 
the best remedy extant for any 
and all diseases of the kidneys, 
and I am quite confident that it 
will do all you claim for it. You 
may publish this if you desire 
to do so. 

Yours respectfully, 
EDWIN M. FEAZEL.

Db. H. T. Helmbold : 

Two bottles only of the package of 
your valuable Buchu presented to the 
Institute have been used by the childreu, 
.'uul with perfect success. In the case 
of our little Lieutenant A. J., his pride 
is no longer mortified, and lie is free 
from the duily morning anathemas of 
the chambermaid who has charge of 
his bedding. I feel that a knowledge 



of tlie result of our use of your Buchu 
with the children under our charge may 
save many a Superintendent and Matron 
of Boarding Schools and Asylums a 
great amount of annoyance ; and many 
a poor child suffering more from weak- 
ness than from habit, may be spared 
punishment, that is (not knowing it as 
a Aveakness instead of a bad habit) most 
unjustly inflicted upon them. Thank- 
ing you on behalf of the children, and 
hoping others may be alike benefited. 
I am respectfully yours,

stroyed the locomotive and 26 cars laden

at the old battle-ground o£ Bull Run, Va. 
After severe loss the Federals fell back to 
Centerville, where they were supported by 
Sumner's and Franklin's corps. It is sup- 
posed that the disagreement of Generals in 
command caused this disaster. 

— 27. Gen, Hooker's division engaged 
rebels under Gen. Ewcll at Kettle Run, 
Va., near Bristow's station, an J drove 
them from the field ; loss about 300 on

sing. General Reno killed.

Va.,vnth a large supply of military stores, 
and 11,000 men to the rebels after three 
days' siege. Col, Miles, the Federal com- 
mander, killed. This surrender was one of 
the most disgraceful of the war.

entire Federal army of Gen. McClellan, 
and rebel army of Gen. Lee engaged. De- 
feat of rebels with loss of 15,000 men.

oners. The rebels lost 1,800 men.

GOUT, OR RHEUMATISM, 

Pain occurring in the loins is indicative 
of the above diseases. They occur in per- 
sons disposed to acid stomach and chalky 
concretions. 



THE GRAVEL. 

GRAVEL ensues from neglect or im- 
proper treatment of the kidneys. Tliese 
organs being weak, tlie water is not ex- 
pelled from the bladder, but allowed to re- 
main; it becomes feverish and sediment 
forms. It is from this deposit that the 
Btone is formed and gravel ensueso 

DROPSY 

Is a collection of water in some parts of 
the body, and bears different names, ac- 
cording to the parts affected, viz.: When 
generally dittuswl over the body, it. is called 
Anasarca ; when of the abdomen, Ascites ; 
wUtsn oi the cheat, HydrotUomx. 



TREATMENT. 

Helmbold's highly concentrated com- 
pound Extract Buchu is decidedly one of 
the best remedies for diseases of the blad- 
der, kidneys, gravol, dropsical swellings, 
rheumatism, and gouty affections Under 
this head we have arranged Dysuria, or 
difR(!ulty and pain in passing water, scanty 
secretion or small and frequent discharges 
of water. Strangury or stopping of water, 
Hematuria or bloody urine, gout and rheu- 
matism of the kidneys, without any change 
in quantity, but increase of color or dark 
water. It was always highly recommended 
by the late Dr. Physick in these affections. 

This medicine increases tlie power of 
digestion and excites the absorbents into 
healthy exercise, by which the watery or 
calcare(ytis depositions and all unnatural 
enlargements, as well as pain and inUfim- 
matlon, are reduced, and is taken by 
Men, AVomen and CUIIdren.

Cure of Non-Retentiou 

H. T. Helmbold : — I have been giving 
your Extract Buchu to my daughter, who 
has been unable to retain her water, wett- 
ing the bed during the night, and unable to 
retain it at any time. I was recommended 
to use it by a highly respectable lady of this 
place, who had given it to her son with 
complete success. My daughter had been 
troubled for a long time ; I purchased one 
"bottle some eight weeks since, which lasted 
one week, and from which she received 
great benefit, and induced me to purchase 
one-half dozen bottles, as I had tried many 
other remedies and my family physician to 
no avail. It is now more than two weeks 
since she has taken the last bottle, and I 
am happy to inform you of its oornpleto 
success. 

Very truly yours, 

Geo. M. Marshall, 

^eb. 12th, 1865, / Germantown. 



of Urine in a Child. 

CERTIFICATE of Chas. D. Lahey. 

Thiladeiphia, Dec. 9, 1864. 
Dr. H. T. Helmbold— D^ar Sir: In No- 
vember 1863, my son, aged "one year," was 
taken with sore eyes and sf^alp disease, and 
after using various medicines, by advice of 
seven different physicians, to no purpose, I 
was advised by a friend to try your Extract 
of Sarsaparilla, alter using three bottles of 
which the child is almost entirely cured, — 
the disease of the head having all disap- 
peared and the specks on the eyes diminish- 
ing daily. 

I shall continue to use your Extract, and 
cheerfully recommend it to others as a safe 
family medicine. 

Yours truly, 

JAMES 73. LAHEY, 
Of the firm of Theod. Megargee & Co., 
Paper Manufacturers, 3 & 5 Decatur St.

From a Professor of Surgery, Surgeon 
and Clinical Lecturer to the Alms- 
house Infirmary, &c. 

I have employed the medicines of Mr. 
Helmbold in numerous instances within 
the last tliree years, and have always found 
them extremely efticacioua, especially in 
diseases of the urinary organs. Gonorrhoea, 
Syphilis, &c. I have no hesitation in pro- 
nouncing them of inestimable value, and 
worthy the confidence of the faculty.

Mr. Helmbold :— My vdf e has been af-

Sir : I have repeatedly used your Fluid 
Extracts in my practice here, in the various

success. 1 think they are a valuable assist- 
ant to the physician.

Helmbold's Extract Buchu. 

IS A CERTAIN CURE FOR DISEASES OF THE 

BLADDER, KIDNEYS, GRAVEL, DROPSY, 

ORGANIC AVEAKNESS, FEMALE COMPLAINTS 
GENERAL DEBILITY, 
And all diseases of the 

URINARY ORGANS, whether existing in 

MALE OR FEMALE, 

ATTENDED WITH THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS:— 

Indisposition to Exertion, Loss of Power, Loss of Memory, DifiQculty 
of Breathing, General Weakness, Horror of Disease, Weak Nerves, 
Trembling, Dreadfnl Horror of Death, Night Sweats, Cold Feet, Wake- 
fulness, Dimness of Vision, Languor, Universal Lassitude of the Muscu- 
lar System, often Enormous Appetite with Dyspeptic Symtoms, Hot 
Hands, Flushing of the Body, Dryness of the Skin, Pallid Countenance 
and Eruptions on the Face, Pain in the Back, Heviness of the Eyelids, 
Frequently Black Spots flying before the Eyes, with Temporary Suffu- 
sion and Loss of Sight, Want of Attention, Great Mobility, Rest- 
lessness, with Horror of Society. Nothing is more desirable to such 
Patients than Solitude, and nothing they more dread for fear of them- 
selves, no Repose of manner, no Earnestness, no Speculation, but a 
hurried Transition from one question to another. 

These symptoms, if allowed to go on — which this Medicine invariably 
removes — soon follow Loss- of power, Fatuity and Epileptic Fits, in one of 
wliich the patient may expire. Who can say that those excesses are 
not frequently followed by those direful diseases Insanity and Con- 
sumption f The records of the Insane Asylums, and the melancholy 
deaths by Consumption, bear ample witness to the truth of these asser- 
tions. In Lunatic Asylums the most melancholy exhibition appears. 
The countenance is actually sodden and quite destitute — neither Mirth 
or Grief ever visits it. Should a sound of the voice occur, it is rarely 

articulate.

Low sullen sounds his grief beguiled.^'

Hottentots have long used Buchu 

FOE A ,- , 

VARIETY OF DISEASES. 

It was borrowed from those rude practitioners by the English and Dutch physicians, on whose r«- 
commendation it was employed in Europe, and has now come into general use. It is given chiefly 
in gravel, chronic catarrh of the bladder, morbid irritation of the bladder and urethea, for female 
weakness and debility, for prolapsus and bearing down, or prolapsus uteri, diseases of the pros- 
tate gland, retention or incontinence of urine, and all diseases requiring the aid of a diuretic 
arising from a loss of tone in the parts concerned in its evacuation. It is also recommended in 
cases of dyspepsia, chronic rheumatism, cutaneous affections «Bd dropsy. To cure these diseases 
we must bring into action the muscles which are engaged in their various functions. To neglect 
them, however slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect the bodily health and mental powers. 
Our flesh and blood are supported from these sources. Persons at every period of life, from in- 
fanaj to old age, and in every state of health, are liable to be subjects of these diseases. The 
causes in many instances are unknown. The patient has, however, an admirable remedy in 

HELMBOLD'S 

FLUID EXTRACT OF BUCHU, 

and when taken in early stages of the disease, none suffer to any extent. It allays pain and 
inflammation, is free from all injurious properties, pleasant in its taste and odor, and immediate 
in its action. It is the 

ANCHOR OF HOPE TO THE THYSICIAN, 

and was always so esteemed by the late eminent Dr. Physic The proprietor, with upwards of 
thirty thousand unsolicited certificates and hundreds of thousands of living witnesses of its cura- 
tive properties, accumulated within fifteen years, has not been in the habit of resorting to their 
publication, he does not do this, from the fact that his remedies rank as standard, they do not 
need to be propped np by certificates. The science of medicine, like the Doric column, should 
stand simple, pure, a/id ?najestic, Jiaving fact for its basis, 'induction for its pillar, and truth 
alone for its ccyv.<iL. liis Solid and Fluid Extracts embody the full streugth of the ingredients 
of which they are named. They are left to the inspection of all. A ready and conclusive test of 
their properties will be a comparison with those set forth in the United States Dispensatory. 
These remedies are prepared by H. T. IIelmbolb, Druggist of eighteenyears' experience, and'^ve 
believe them to be reliable, in fact we have never known an article lacking merit to meet with a 
permanent success, and Mr. Helmbolw's success is certainly priw,a /biri^? evidence. His Drug 
and Chemical Warehouse, in tke city of New York, is not excelled, if equaled, bv njjy in this coun- 
try, and we would advise our readers when visiting that city, to give him & ^iilland judge for 
themselves.
